Timber and Furniture Clearance in Holloway N7 – Flat-Pack and Yard Waste Case Study

MM Rubbish Clearance cleared a rear yard in Holloway N7. A dismantled flat-pack wardrobe, a wooden shoe rack, stacked garden trays, storage boxes, bagged waste and assorted garden odds and ends had built up against the back wall. It came to about a quarter van load.

The Clearance and Access

The largest thing in this yard was a dismantled flat-pack wardrobe, and flat-pack is the item people get stuck with most often. Once it is apart it cannot be sold, charities will not take it, and the panels are too long for a car boot. It is also not the same material as solid timber: laminated chipboard and MDF go into a lower grade of wood recycling than a pine chair does, which is a reason to separate it rather than tip it in with everything else.

Around it was what a yard always collects — stacked garden trays, storage boxes, a bin, bagged waste, canes. Small items, several different streams, one carry route out. The wardrobe panels went in flat against the side of the van first, so their awkward shape could not cost space, and the loose items filled in around them. More at furniture removal London.

Responsible Disposal

The load was collected within the London Borough of Islington and taken to a licensed recycling and waste transfer station. The laminated board was separated from the solid timber and the plastics and general waste kept apart from both, rather than the yard going into the van as one undifferentiated load — the approach set out on our responsible rubbish clearance page. A Waste Transfer Note was issued on completion. MM Rubbish Clearance is an Environment Agency upper-tier waste carrier, licence CBDU418527.

The Result

The yard went back to bare paving in a single visit — the after photograph is the same corner with nothing left in it. Nothing had to be broken down further to fit in a car, and nothing waited on a bulky collection slot for items a council booking would not have covered anyway.
